Best Answer

Lichen is the product of a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and a photosynthetic organism, usually a photosynthetic bacteria or algae. The photosynthetic organism gains a place to live and protection. Most of the organisms that live as part of a lichen need a moist environment and cannot usually live in the areas that lichen can grow; The fungi allows the photosynthetic organism to remain moist. The fungi gains a source of energy from the photosynthetic organism. The photosynthetic organism produces sugars using solar energy which are used by the fungi.
